In the middle of summer, Wuding City, the scorching sun is scorching, whether it is on the street or in the fields, there is no moving living thing. Even the most lively Guanfeng downstairs in this thousand-year-old city has lost its vitality, and only the stubborn plants that have been half-baked are still stubbornly carrying the deadly heat of this summer. The occasional passer-by or two just hurried by, busy looking for shade and not wanting to spend a moment longer in the July sun. The Xia on the Wuding River is also unique in the Great Wu Dynasty, which covers an area of thousands of miles. She is not like Jiangnan, exposed to the scorching sun and sweating profusely, but as long as she finds a teahouse, orders a pot of tea, sits for a moment, and with the story of Mr. Storyteller, the tea goes down the stomach, and the pu fan is slowly fanned, then the scorching heat is slowly fanned away. She is also different from the north, the summer in the north is as rough as the folk customs in the north, simple, pure, and it can be described in one word, hot, hot, tnd hot. The summer of Wuding is very distinctive, she does not have the extremely high temperature in the north, but you will feel as if you are in a steamer, it is stuffy from head to toe, even if there is an occasional gust of wind blowing on your face, whether it is under the sun or under the eaves, no matter where you can't avoid this heat, as if there is a fire burning in your heart, which needs to be extinguished urgently.

However, there are always exceptions. On a small mountain road ten miles outside Wuding City, a group of people slowly climbed to the top of a higher mountain under the scorching sun overhead.

"Yang Er, you are endless, one of the big men, you can dry it, do you need to hide around?" A swarthy man looked at the man with a slightly whiter head, one step left and one step to the right, carefully stepping on the broken shade of the trees, as if he wanted to make a move to pass through the shade, and the sun did not touch his body. However, this rough body and a large knife on his shoulder looked inexplicably funny and speechless.

"It's like a girl, isn't it annoying?" The brother in the back really couldn't stand it all the way, and he was already holding a fire in his stomach, and then looking at the pace of this girl, he really couldn't bear it.

"You are a rough man, you know a ball, we are scholars, are you talking about a humble gentleman, gentle as jade?" Bai Hanzi said, and didn't leave, as soon as the long knife was put down, he leaned under the tree, panting heavily, Wuding's Xia, not a joke, people who don't see the sun are hot people can't stand it, and they will immediately sweat if they walk a few steps without doing anything under the sun, not to mention carrying a machete weighing ten pounds on the rugged mountain road at noon.

"Rough man, you are embarrassed to say that you are a reader, I am !! Dawu, it is really unfortunate for the family and country to have a scholar like you. Seeing his brother sit down, the swarthy man scolded back and sat down, leaning his back against the tree, looking loveless.

"This ghost weather, it's just life-threatening, I really don't know what Wu Daode thinks, just on such a hot day, you have to choose the mountain to deliver the goods?" Looking at the top of the mountain, which was still far away, the swarthy man understood what it meant to run a dead horse in Wangshan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Big brother, hero, uncle, our young lady is so thirsty that she can't stand it, and she really can't walk. Please, give me saliva. If you want money, our lord will give it to you in return. Just beg, don't ,,," Yang Er looked at the poetry in his chest that was only brewed in the green mountains and green waters, and was ruthlessly interrupted by the little maid who tied her hands behind her, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What is the noise, little girl, I, Yang Er, am a well-known gentleman among bandits, phew, I am a gentleman in the rivers and lakes." It has always been to convince people with virtue. What do you mean by such words? Don't you think that our generation will do that kind of immoral behavior of taking money and tearing up tickets? Huh!?"

The little maid didn't expect that she and the young lady just simply went to the temple outside the city to pray for incense, and it was so close to Wuding City that it was still broad daylight, so suddenly two bandits jumped out from the side of the road and knocked down the entourage of the family and tied the two of them. Where did he and the young lady suffer like this, they hurried under the Wuding sun in July, if it weren't for the bright big knife on the neck, they would have fallen down by now, and they didn't even have the strength to speak after walking for so long, and if they walked for a while, they were afraid that they would fall to the ground directly from heat stroke.

Now he still tells himself that there are still gentlemen among the bandits, all of whom are bandits who dare to commit murder and arrest people and kidnap tickets during the day, and what kind of gentleman is he still talking about? I thought to myself why this person was so shameless, but at this moment, his life was in the hands of others, so he had to compliment, "Yes, yes, yes." Yes, it's a maid who is clumsy, and I don't know that the hero is an honest person, but, but my young lady has never walked such a far, and the weather is hot, really, I can't stand it with thirst. ”

Yang Er looked at the young lady of the Song family who had already crawled on the ground when the two people he saw behind him sat down, and knew that he really couldn't hurry up anymore, after all, Wu Daode said that he wanted a living person, and there was still nothing wrong on the road to this meat ticket. I just took out the water bag, poured a big sip of it myself, and threw it over.

"Miss, slow down, slow down. The little maid saw that her young lady had to pick up a water bag like a hungry wolf and pour it into her mouth, and she had long lost the image of everyone's beautiful girl in the past. hurriedly patted his back for fear of choking.

When the black man saw the situation of the two people tied up in front of him, he knew that he would not be able to walk anymore, and pressing the two of them to walk would only slow down the trip. Although the two of them expected that they would not encounter pedestrians on the road in today's weather, even if someone found out and reported to the government. Just rely on the group of straw bales in the Wuding Yamen to catch fast, this day, it is impossible to catch the two of them. I'm afraid that when I come, I will only grind foreign workers on the road. But, after all, he has been out of the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he knows that if the group of brocade guards in the city comes, Yang Er and he will not be able to parry. After all, those reapers, who are not as fast as those straw bales, and there are many good hands among them.

If you continue at this speed, you won't be able to reach the place of delivery after dark, and you may be caught up by the Jinyi guards who rushed over. Then he spoke:

"Second child, I'm afraid I can't rest, let's go one by one later, just carry these two girls and run. It's late, I'm afraid of bad things. ”

"Done. Let's leave when we're done drinking. There are also good light skills in the brocade guard, but they can't be consumed any longer. ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and each understood it. And the long sword was put into its sheath, and he picked up the master and the servant on the ground, and ran.

Miss Song's "Ah!" screamed that the water had just entered her stomach, and there was a slight coolness in her lungs. But I instantly felt weightless, and then I was put on the shoulders by the black man. Suddenly, the ground where he had just rested suddenly became far away from him and the distance continued to increase, and the two bandits directly resisted the two of them and ran on the rugged mountain road, but as if they were walking on the ground, all the potholes on the road disappeared directly.

It was the only thing she could think of.

It's getting faster and faster. In the process of speeding up, Miss Song found that she was also getting higher and higher from the ground, and after the speed was so fast that she found that the two of them began to leap bigger and bigger every step, and gradually stepped on the ground, the two of them flew out directly for four or five meters before landing, and the speed did not slow down at the same time, and the height of each jump also reached more than one meter high. The trees next to the mountain road began to retreat rapidly, and her whole body was like a roller coaster, up and down, especially when she hit the bend of the road, the black man who was carrying her suddenly accelerated, and then slammed her foot on the trunk of the tree at the bend of the path, turned directly in the air, and continued to run.

Miss Song is a real lady, usually the door does not go out of the door, and the farthest she walked was only to come over to burn incense like this today, and she returned to the way of others. Where have I seen this kind of battle, I was scared and screamed at the moment. But the black man under him was impatient and slapped her on the ass directly.

"What is it called, if you call it again, I will throw it down for you and drag you away!"

The little maid in front heard the crisp sound a few meters away, and the person concerned, Miss Song, let alone mention it. It hurt so much through her skirt that tears almost couldn't hold back her tears, she was ashamed and scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to shout anymore, and for a moment she suddenly felt that what the white-looking kidnapper said might be true, at least he didn't hit when his little maid shouted just now.

And just threw her out directly, flew five or six meters high, and caught it again when it was about to be grounded, and the little girl experienced this stimulation in an instant, and her little face turned pale with fright, and she hadn't come back to her senses for a long time, and naturally she couldn't say a word.

After flying around like this for a long time, Miss Song had begun to get used to this magical journey, but suddenly, she felt that she suddenly flew very high, crossed a boulder, and then, the footsteps of the people below her stopped in a clearing on the top of a mountain.

The two bandits unceremoniously threw her master and servant to the ground, and began to sit directly on the ground and gasp for air.

"He's so tired. It's really not a human thing to do with a person running away. I knew that I would have run slower, this Wu Dao had to be really sick and chose such a place. ”

"Hey, don't say it, our brother has to leave quickly after handing over the goods, the daughters of big families are not so easy to tie, who knows if she has a gang of dog legs at home who shouts Jinyiwei. "Yang Er, it's not good to be tired all the way. Lying directly on the ground, gasping for breath, watching the sun gradually set in the distance.

Miss Song only felt that the mountain wind was hurting on her face, and at this time she realized that she had been running for half a day, coupled with the speed of the rush, she didn't know how far she was from Wuding City at the moment, and she was a little desperate in her heart.

After sitting for an hour, the two bandits gradually recovered, and the sun was about to set. The only remaining light struggled to bring a little more warmth to the land, dyeing the clouds of the surrounding sky crimson. And looking at the top of the mountain, you can see the river running along the river towards the distance, never tireless.

The river reflecting the red sky stretches and zigzags through the lofty mountains, like a red dragon lying on the land of the Dawu Dynasty across the longitude and latitude.

But suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps shattered the otherwise quiet sunset scenery.

The two glanced at each other and said in their hearts.

"It's coming!"
